    Thank you nicholas, D-tach, jesse, ajsikel, & Stephane.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pAjyYixKXm8 is how I have a speed graphic shutter on my 8x10 (so I can shoot 400 speed film in daylight wide open). You can get good tones with many films with experience, but I'm most experienced with tmy2, so I know how to use the film. Weather was gray flat light.

    My daughter is experienced in posing for my camera and has done it all her life. Key to keeping kids in focus is to have them not move their feet once you get the pose. They always want to move their feet unconsciously and it will make them step out of focus. Have a helper coach the child not to move their feet while you work with the film holders, cock the shutter, etc... After a meal is good too, if they are hungry, they get impatient. The sigmar lens is slightly soft and is sort of a magic bullet piece of equipment; an imperfect triplet, uncoated and big and nothing special for contrast.

    JP What a great photo of your daughter! I have been trying to capture photos of my grand daughters but none reach your standard. Well done sir.
